I stopped into BJ's wholesale club today and eye of round was $2.89 per pound. I asked if there was a discount for case quantity and there is $0.20 per pound. So I had no choice but to buy a 75 pound case.
Great Price, Holly!!
I waited years for Eye Round to go down below $4 around here again, and finally a few weeks ago it went down to $2.98 at "Weis", so I bought 3 Whole Eye Rounds.
Now I see it is down to $2.49 this week @ "Weis". Guess I gotta get 3 more!!!
Whole Eye of round at BJ's jumps between $2.89 to $3.39 per pound. Last week they were $3.39 this week $2.89. If you get them trimmed the price is about $0.30 per pound higher.
So my plan is if no one locally wants any:
2 of the EOR's are sliced up and marinating in Veri Veri Teriyaki and cure #1 to make jerky with tomorrow.
2 more will get sliced later today and start marinating for spicy jerky.
2 or 3 will get cured for Bresaola
1 or 2 cured for dried beef (not this weekend)
The rest will get frozen and dealt with at later dates.
Eye of round is my favorite beef to work with. Very versatile especially for cuing.
